Not many reviews online for this one.
cnet didn't seem to especially like it .... http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_Digi...2.html?tag=nav Only one user review on newegg as well, also not great: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Custra...82E16830144054 Only two reviews but neither of them are that great. Just because it's 8mp (which is a lot at that price point), doesn't make it a great camera. I'd have a look at 4-5mp offerings from the likes of Canon, Nikon or Sony in the same sort of price bracket. This page may help .... http://www.steves-digicams.com/best_cameras.html |

This is the best camera review site on the web:
www.dpreview.com really detailed unbiassed reviews and comparisons. Sorry, no mention of the model you're interested in, but I just think anyone who's into cameras should know about this site!! If only there were sites this good for televisions, phones, hi-fi etc. |

I'm a photographer....8MP is very large, are you sure you need this facility? As someone said, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a great camera. If you want large, huge blow up prints then you go for a higher MP rating. My camera has 6.1MP and I can have excellent A3 prints with that. I'd recommend seeing what you can get for the same amount in Nikon.
Steve's Digicams review website is excellent btw. Enjoy! |

I won one of the Canon Digital Ixus 60s a couple of weeks ago and I've been very impressed. Good quality pictures, huge screen, fast startup and shot-to-shot time. Very pocketable.
